25 Oct–25 Jan’26
‘The Clock Wife’ – Marja Bloem with Seth Siegelaub, Sue Cramer and Emma Nixon with John Nixon, Bea Ortega Botas and
Leto Ybarra with Fran Herndon & friends Vanita and Johanna Monk
JThe Clock Wife is a three-month exhibition highlighting artist estate management through the perspectives of the women overseeing four estates: Marja Bloem (Seth Siegelaub), Sue Cramer and Emma Nixon (John Nixon), Johanna Monk (Vanita Monk), and Juf (Fran Herndon). It explores the intersection of administrative and emotional labor in this role, posing the question of how to make visible that which remains unseen.
Each executor has identified a specific need for their estate, and the exhibition budget has been adjusted to support these needs. The executors vary in their experiences and relationships with the estates, reflecting diverse approaches to artistic legacy. Common desires among them include connecting with others in similar situations and increasing visibility for their loved ones' practices. The central platform system, designed by Maud Vervenne, serves as the space for talks and performances, acknowledging the complex emotional landscape of managing these estates.
